The opening and closing of stomata is a function of turgor changes in guard cells.
In light, malic acid is produced in guard cells which dissociates into hydrogen and malate ions resulting in intake of K+ ions through H+ - K+ ion exchange. There is increase in concentration of K+ and malate ions in guard cells, endosmosis of water into guard cells occurs resulting in increased turgor pressure which results in stomatal opening. These are concerned with gaseous exchange during photosynthesis and respiration and water loss through transpiration.
Assertion : Among the land animals, the Cheetah can run fastest over the ground.
Reason : The Cheetah uses its powerful forelimbs to push itself forward during running.
